The July SFYTT Is Here!

It's the first Saturday of the month...and that means a new SFYTT! Here is this month's sketch!

This month, the SFYTT is sponsored by the one, the only, My Favorite Things, which, for me, is just that...one of my favorite things!

I am SO blessed and lucky to be part of the My Favorite Things Design Team, and for my card today I've used the GORGEOUS new My Favorite Sentiments! This is MFT's 6th Birthday Celebration set and now through July 31st (while supplies last), this fabulous set is on sale for just $6.00 (a $17.95 retail value!).

I started by stamping "You Inspire Me" in Strawberry Fresh Ink onto Whip Cream Cardstock. I cut out, and layered the panel, using the Circle STAX 1 Die-Namics and Circle STAX 2 Die-Namics. I layered it with another piece ofWhip Cream Cardstock...I
love the clean look of that. I separated them with Jody Boosters for
lots of dimension. I then stamped the sentiment again, this time in
Pool Fresh Ink, and cut out "Inspire", and then popped that panel up
with Jody Boosters.

Perhaps you saw the big news at MFT? Brand new dyed to match buttons! OH...they are GLORIOUS! I've used lots of different buttons today, all lined up for the vertical panel in the sketch. I tied them each withCarribean Teal Twine. I ADORE them. You can't see too well, but I did add a border with the new Jumbo Squiggle Border Die-Namicsunder the horizontal panel. Here is a closeup of these gorgeous new buttons.

For the inside I again layered two panels of Whip Cream Cardstock, separated with Jody Boosters, along with another piece of patterned paper, which is all Sweet Day from Echo Park Papers. I stamped a sentiment from More Essential Sentiments, "You're The Best" in Strawberry Fresh Ink. My card base is Sno Cone Cardstock.
